Footscray Community Arts

Footscray Community Arts is a 50-year strong independent arts precinct dedicated to sharing stories. Our vision is that all communities are valued as makers of culture. As an arts precinct, and through development programs and presentations, we actively work to create a place that is vibrant, culturally safe and artistically ambitious. This work is led by communities whose cultural agency has not historically been seen, centred or prioritised by the creative industries. We platform and centre the voices and perspectives of these communities, generating social and cultural impact locally and globally. We centre and prioritise artists and artsworkers who are First Nations, people of colour, people from diaspora communities, people who have lived experience of Disability, d/Deaf people, and people from the LGBTIQA+ community.
